Vast distances, rugged terrain, and extreme variations in climate have shaped the development of civil aviation in Canada and made air transport tremendously important.
Hong Kong has rugged relief and marked variations in topography, which is in sharp contrast to the low-lying areas of the Pearl River Delta region but conforms geologically and structurally to the well-eroded upland region of the great South China massif.
